Look Closer

I met a girl.

With big brown eyes
Thick black eyelashes
Scraggly eyebrows

I waved
She waved

The girl had

A scarf wrapped around her head
Long fingers with shaped nails
Thin body

I smiled
She smiled

The girl had

A face with round cheeks
Lips that curved in and out
Mocha complexion

I spoke
She spoke

The girl had

Small feet and small hands
A short height
Button nose

I raised my hand
She raised her hand

The girl had

A birth mark beneath her right eyebrow

I had a birth mark beneath my right eyebrow.

I shattered and cried
She stood intact smiling.
